It is with great displeasure that i report that the King of the blues, B.B. King has passed away at the age of 89. Let's remember him by playing our respective "Lucille"s.

What an incredible talent.  He will be missed.

My favorite memory was watching him playing with U2 in "Rattle & Hum."  They were getting ready to play "When Love Comes To Town" and he asked the Edge to play rhythm because, as BB said, "I ain't so good with those chords."  Such an awesome blues guitarist and he never really learned to play chords.  Still was awesome.

Isaw him in 1983 in El Paso, Texas.

  The thrill is gone. May you rest BB King.
